Long overdue(or undue?) update. In light of recent turbulent events in the life of the nation, such as an incessantly crashing Sensex, the spurt of farmer suicides/shootings in Karnataka and the all-encompassing Trust Vote in Parliament, I was left quite swamped with news updates and reacting to them with my usual slow speed took some time. Due to these things, it is perhaps tasteless to write in detail about something as cheap, trivial, fleeting and pointless as wealth and the gaining of it through spurious means. Therefore, I'll just let you know that I had been to Atlantic City last weekend and, sitting at a roulette table consistently for four hours, won 575 dollars.

Yes, for putting no effort and skill into any task other than hoping, I was rewarded by Him. In this case, He was named David and He was the guy who spun the ball around the roulette wheel and announced the number it landed on. But God works in mysterious ways and I'm happy that giving money easily to rather lazy software engineers is one of them.

And as to what happened to me that I would write those disastrous, dismal posts named "The diary of an unfortunate man," well, I thought it was funny and I was taking a shot at some of these Amway/Quickstar operatives who accosted me here(and from whose clutches I escaped by simply not meeting them). Evidently, I was wrong.

[tangled] I was referring to widespread critical declaim that was bestowed upon the series.

Treat, sure, when I get back.

[a million different people] Heh, all yours? OK, why not?

Bajji in CTR? Reading your English-and-all, I thought you were Sophia's(So-fie-yah's) or Kumaran's(Coomruns) or what-and-all attitude school. You're turning out to be 'local,' just like us. SLV as in Bull Temple road SLV? Those guys are just ok. You should try one Mr. Gangadhar near Jayanagar 7th block Foodworld. Great man. Has rendered more than just yeoman service to mankind. Makes the best damned masala puri I have tasted.
